There is no average mile per hour. It depends on where you want to go with your rocket. There are minimum speeds that a rocket must travel to do certain things, depending on how fast we want to get there. Each thing we want to do is different. For example: to orbit: 17,000 mph; to get to the Moon: 25,000 mph.
